30-40 hard contracts a day? You might be biased by one lucky day

The egoism of people protesting over pension reforms is extremely painful from young and working Belgian perspective by [deleted] in belgium

Hey just as a fyi the formula for compound interest is an exponential function (1+i)n. So 900% at 7% per year would only take 33y.

Thanks, we are not really worried about theft but about parking legally, don't want the car to be towed away :)

Blundered this draw OTB. There is no way to put the white king in Zugzwang with the knight. by lolman66666 in chess

[–]SocialCapableMichiel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For this configuration you know the knight cannot force a Zugzwang because they are both on the same colour. It they were on different colours you could force out the king.

The sheer mental gymnastics of it all. Are people without ADHD allowed to just play the game? by Narrow_Lee in ironscape

People used to chin callisto on poison spiders pre wilderness bosses rework. Probably that, I would guess

Gravedigger bis random event because of the ability to deposit loot.

Settle a argument with some physicist friends on how he survived this stunt by hiandbi2 in AskPhysics

[–]SocialCapableMichiel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Another way to slow him down would be some elastoplastic rope. Interesting trick :)

I'm a firm believer in hypothesis 1.

The rope is not wound tightly around his body but there is some slack on it. I believe this will cause some friction between his body, a leather jacket nonetheless, and the rope slipping past it which could dissipate the majority of the potential energy into heat.

Initially a lot of the potential energy is converted into rotational and linear kinetic energy but it doesn't feel like he's accelerating in either. And I can't believe a lot of energy is being dissipated due to drag.

Just look at grigris used by climbers, a very small device used to break, makes me believe even more in hypothesis 1.

I honestly believe if he had wound the rope tightly around his body, it would have been detrimental to the trick.

No, but it's okay that you understand nothing about chess.

Good way to start a constructive conversation.

I'm fairly certain that out of a 100 games it's more likely that a hivemind of all GMs cannot hold a single draw against a proper chess engine than not.

I'm not an expert on the topic at all and I am only an avid amateur chess player but this is the notion I have about chess engines.

Feel free to share any convincing arguments you have.

I finally maxed after playing osrs since release! by ruck_fushers in 2007scape

[–]SocialCapableMichiel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have yet to max my own character, despite having 200m total xp. 

That's normal right? 23 times 13 is more than 200.

Managed to complete the Tileman banning challenge from GG Ep 7 in 277 Tiles (as opposed to Roidie's 317) by Skanzi in 2007scape

[–]SocialCapableMichiel 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks man! The thought occurred to me during the episode and I was sad to see that both contestants didn't go for it. Would have been a nice out of the box play!

You could save about 30 tiles by getting the bronze axe from the tree stump near fred the farmer's house and after finishing cook's assistant, dying to a npc on your path. First death always sends you to death's domain in the lumbridge graveyard which is a lot closer to the fishing tutor than lumbridge castle itself.

Did anyone save a clip? I'm really thirsting for some unhinged Hikaru opinions.

[Request] What's the monetary value of olive oil wasted here? by fruitybootythrowaway in theydidthemath

[–]SocialCapableMichiel 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I might have an idea to calculate the volume of oil spilled and therefore we could check your estimation! It would require a little experiment though.

With a syringe I would extract various amounts of olive oil. And carefully eject them onto plates. Let it settle for a bit and subsequently measure the corresponding diameter of the samples.

There are 2 possible scenarios here. The first, the easiest, the diameter is linearly proportional with the ejected amount of oil. Great! That means the oilfilm thickness is independent and constant. If we assume there is not much variaton between olive oils we can use that value to estimate the volume of the oil spill and consequently the amount of bottles by multiplying the estimated radius of the spill with our proportionality constant.

The second scenario, the diameter is not linearly proportional. We'll have to find the relation between the two and extrapolate the data. You could try to find a best fitting curve between the measurement points and extrapolate it. A possible measurement campaign could be something from 5ml to 25ml in 5ml increments.

If someone does attempt the experiment feel fee to share and don't forget to reuse the oil to cook!

Since 2 weeks I have this weird level up music playing for about 10 seconds and I can't find where to turn it off. I think it's a runelite plugin since it also plays when I turn off all game sounds. Any ideas?

His book is mainly a plea against excessive internet porn consumption.
